Mothers Break the Silence: How Quitting GMOs FINALLY Healed Chronic Illnesses in Their Struggling Children

Children illnesses are on the rise in the United States, and it is becoming a bigger issue every year. Having a child with a chronic illness is no longer a rarity, and if the surge in illness continues, analysts worry it may wreck a havoc on the United States health care system in the near future.

Almost 1 in 2 children today have or will develop some kind of mental disorder, and more than 1 in 5 will have a debilitating illness – the most common one being ADHD. Illnesses such as asthma, allergies, diabetes, autism, and other chronic conditions are on the rise in children.

This situation is bad for those affected, their families, and the country. While modern medicine is good at keeping people alive longer, not necessarily being able to heal (when taking just the western medicine route) means more years of taking drugs, more surgeries, and more money spent; money that many people do not have.

As pediatrician Dr. Catherine DeAngelis said:“A chronic condition in a child will become a chronic condition in an adult — we just know that. And what you’re talking about for an adult is maybe 10, 20 years of suffering. But with a child, you’re talking about maybe 50, 60 years of suffering.”

And watching their children suffer early on with no answers from the doctors, many mothers are sick and tired of hearing that there is no known cause and that nothing can be done.

Could GMOs and Pesticides Be Responsible?

Recently, the Institute for Responsible Technology (IRT) interviewed mothers who have searched for and found the answers to one of the most fundamental axioms of human health – you are what you eat. What they found out is that what their kids were eating was causing and aggravating numerous health issues, from allergies to autistic symptoms.

What were the kids eating? Food made with genetically modified organisms, for one thing.

But simply making the switch to a non-GMO, all-organic diet helped their children and themselves to heal and greatly lessen the symptoms of the following health conditions, they say:

While Monsanto and other agrochemical and GMO companies continue to insist their products are “safe,” citing government-affiliated declarations, the number of parents who share these experiences has continued to grow.

“I have pages of parents who said their kids got better when they went off GMOs,” said Zen Honeycutt, the founder of Moms Across America and mother of a son who suffered from allergies and rashes before going on an organic diet.

For many kids, the results were so significant that the others could not believe their eyes.

“They have talked that he might have ADHD in addition to autism, and now since we’ve taken all of the genetically modified foods…away from him, his teachers would never guess that,” said Kimberly Ruckman, a mother of an autistic son.

“I have many patients who say once they’ve cleaned up their diet and have eaten strictly organically…have made incredible strides towards health. Doctors are learning the importance of eating non-GMO foods, and are now recommending them to their patients,” said doctor of integrative medicine, Hyla Cass, the author of The Addicted Brain: How to Break Free.

Health Conditions That Are Affected By Eating a Non-GMO Diet

A peer-reviewed article by Jeffrey Smith (the founder of IRT and author of Seeds of Deception and well-known Genetic Roulette, which was turned into a movie) sheds light on at least 28 conditions that were reported by parents.

Many of these disorders affected children and adults alike. On the top of the list are digestive problems, fatigue, obesity, brain fog, mood disorders, and allergies. But even severe and life-threatening illnesses such as cancer, autism, and dementia were improved by switching to a non-GMO diet.

GMOs, Digestion and Leaky Gut

It is a big clue that the number one condition that is improved by switching to organic food is digestion disorders. Dr. Cass has a theory to why that is:

“GMOs were…made to kill insects. Our gut is affected, just the way insect’s gut is. We have leaky gut,” said Dr. Cass.

After switching to a non-GMO diet, over 85% of people reported improved digestion, and over 16% had a total recovery. But it is not just the digestion that is positively connected. As Dr. Cass explains, our gut health is directly connected to our immune system and therefore our health as a whole.

“The symptom [of leaky gut] is an inflamed brain. An inflamed gut and an inflamed brain are going to look depressed, autistic, having ADD, all kinds of really bad ‘mental illnesses,’” said Dr. Cass.

Leaky gut, one of the most common issues today, is a condition in which there is damage to intestines, which leads to toxic waste products and bacteria leaking into a person’s blood.

It is not a condition that mainstream medicine yet understands, but growing amounts of research has linked it to many conditions, according to doctor of natural medicine Josh Axe. Leaky gut syndrome can manifest in the following symptoms: inflammation of the bowels, autoimmune disease, food sensitivities, thyroid issues, malabsorption of nutrients, skin inflammation, and mood disorders.

It can them lead to or exacerbate allergies, asthma, autism, arthritis, diabetes, and inflammation – all of the conditions discussed by the IRT.

To repair leaky gut, it is important to take probiotics, add healing foods and supplements (digestive enzymes, L-Glutamine amino acid, and licorice root) into the diet, but most importantly to remove GMO foods to see how your body responds.

Where to Start: Advice from Mothers

Changing the diet initially can be a little overwhelming, but there is no need to panic. Many families have made a gradual shift and now live a fully healthy lifestyle. One of the best ways to succeed is to follow advice from people who have, so here are some of the tips from mothers whose families switched to non-GMO diets.

Avoid the pitfall of going back to the old ways – you’ll be thankful later.

“You learn about it, and you say ‘wow, isn’t it horrible!’ but then you slowly go back to your regular life. For me, unfortunately, what it really took for me to awaken were the health issues with my boy. It’s not something you can do overnight,” said Kathleen Hallal, a mother whose son has an autoimmune condition.

Change your diet one step at a time

“I encourage moms to do it little by little…Here are the basic [GMO] crops. And I tell them to avoid those things, then I tell them about the hidden ingredients – the corn and the soy that’s in everything under those other names,”said Leah Segedie, a mother of a son with Asperger’s syndrome.

Spend your money on what’s most important

“The complaint I here from people is that it’s expensive. But it’s way more expensive [to have] all the doctor bills, and the hospital bills, and being out of work for 6 months…”

said Celia Xavier whose own diet led to arthritis.

Make the personal choice to eat healthy

As many mothers pointed out, the pro-GMO advertisements make it hard to impossible for the media to share the truth about genetically modified foods. While many countries around the world have banned GMOs, in the U.S., most companies refuse to even label them, and the FDA is closing their eyes.

In the end, it is up to the consumer to stop buying GMO products.

“[It is] mostly up to us to stop buying this GMO food. We stop buying it – they stop making it because it will not be economically viable anymore, and I want a GMO-free USA,” said Zen.

Is it REALLY possible to lose 11 lbs. of fat in 22 days? Actually yes… BUT only when you’re a level 4 fat burner. Unfortunately, most people are stuck as level 1 fat burners. So, how do you become a level 4 fat burner to lose up to 11 lbs. in 22 days? Simply eat these foods daily:

PS - Studies show that not only can healthy levels of this powerful calorie-burning hormone devour bodyfat and fortify soft muscle, but it can also reduce your risk of diabetes by 53.7%, a heart attack by 83.3% and stroke by 51.4%. Here's more of the scientific proof...

But there is a lot of confusion as to where bread fits into a healthy diet.

The Bible practically commands followers to eat it: “Give us this day our daily bread…” The government put it at the base of the food pyramid. And for centuries, it has been called “the staff of life.”

The average American consumes 55 pounds of wheat flour every year, making refined flour the #1 source of calories in the American Diet – a situation that nutrition expert Chris Kresser describes as, “a public health catastrophe.”

You probably know most of us eat too much processed food. What you may not know is that it’s full of toxic chemicals and substandard, dirt-cheap ingredients designed to make you eat more…and force you to gain weight.

Here’s how it works.

“That stuff is just a lot of calories your body can’t use,” Liz told me, “Some are poison. And all these foods are stripped of the anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatories that help your body detox. The result? Your body expends huge amounts of calories to eliminatesome toxins—the rest, it stores in your fat to protect you. This is why most people are hungry all the time. They’re not getting energy they need.”

“So… what’s going on with me? Why am I losing weight but not going hungry?”

Liz paused, then dropped the bombshell.

Your body is designed to burn fat. You just have to let it.

“What? I thought we were designed to store fat?!?” We were Skyping and I was practically shouting. Then I heard Liz say…

What good is a fat reserve if you can’t burn it?

Mind blown.

Liz continued: “You’re drinking smoothies packed with phytonutrients, anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatories that pull toxins out of you like a tractor beam. Allowing your body to burn those toxin-filled fat stores… and releasing tremendous amounts of stored energy.”

So that’s why I’m losing weight without going hungry.
